Although the giant tortoise was gone, Varus did not continue to struggle. After replenishing some supplies on the spot, Yasuo and the five people went south along the east bank of the Xiangan River and finally reached the end of their trip.

Saiduolan Village.

Although it is called a "village", according to Ionia's characteristics, it is actually a small town.

When Yasuo and his party came here, the first scene they saw was pitch black.

There are traces on the walls of all buildings that seem to be left by splashing ink. These charred traces are scattered on the walls irregularly, as if they are traces of monsters baring their teeth and claws.

After seeing this "ink mark", Lucian strode forward, pulled out his pistol and fired lightly at the dark mark.

The holy stone was activated, and the holy light bullet hit the ink mark. With a "hissing" sound, a black, patent-like piece of material peeled off.

"It's the trace left by the black fog." He carefully picked up the piece of patent leather, Lucian's face was heavy, "And it's the trace left by the very thick black fog."

"In other words, the information is correct." Looking at the black paint in Lucian's hand, Yasuo frowned, "The black mist is indeed eroding Ionia."

"It seems that what you were worried about has appeared." Lucian threw away the piece of black paint and stuffed the pistol back into his waist. "The results of the observation post are correct, which also confirms the piece of information from the side - black

The fog, or those powerful undead, are plotting against Ionia."

"I don't know who gave them the courage!" Yasuo narrowed his eyes slightly, "While Noxus was invading and Ionia had no time to take care of it, they sneaked in and wanted to cause trouble?!

"

"This is a consistent characteristic of the Black Mist." Lucian shrugged helplessly upon hearing this, "The Black Mist can have such a profound impact on Bilgewater. A large part of the reason is that every time the Pirate King of Bilgewater changes,

Whenever there is a power vacuum, there will be a period of chaos. Without anyone to take the lead in fighting the black mist, this vicious thing will be pervasive."

"Let's go." Yasuo shook his head slightly and walked towards the village first, "Let's go in and ask what happened here during the Soul-Eating Night."

……………………

Compared with the villages we passed before, Saiduolan was obviously much deserted.

In broad daylight, the courtyard doors of every household were tightly closed, and there was not a single pedestrian on the paths in the village. If it weren't for the movement in the courtyards of each house, this place would really be as gloomy as a ghost land.

Yasuo tidied up his appearance a little, rearranged his broomstick, took off his ronin attire to facilitate movement, and put on the martial arts uniform that represented the identity of the Swift Wind Sword Sect. Then he stretched out his hand to ring the bell in the village.

The door of the largest house in the middle.

According to Ionian tradition, the decoration of this family is unique to the elders. To find out the details of the black mist, Yasuo needs to communicate with the local speakers.

Knock knock knock——

Not long after waiting, a middle-aged man with a simple face opened the door - he did not look to be over fifty years old, but perhaps because he had been exposed to the sea breeze all year round, his dark face looked unusually vicissitudes of life.

Seeing Yasuo dressed as a swordsman, the other party was obviously a little surprised. He opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment before finally speaking: "Sir, who are you looking for?"

"I am Yasuo, a swordsman from the Navoli Swift Wind Sword Sect." Yasuo introduced himself simply, "I'm here for the Black Mist."

"For the black mist?" The other party blinked and looked at Yasuo with some surprise, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yasuo - I have never heard of the Swift Wind Sword Sect..."

Never heard of the Swift Wind Sword Sect?

Hearing these words, Yasuo was also stunned for a moment - although the Swift Wind Sword Sect was indeed not well-known before, in the Battle of Ionia, as the most important organizer of the Volunteer Army, the Swift Wind Sword Sect was the most important organizer of the Volunteer Army in Ionia.

Ya's reputation is directly catching up with the Kinkou Sect.

Although the background and inheritance are still far behind, in terms of popularity, the Swift Wind Sword Sect is not inferior to any organization.

As a result, in this remote Saiduolan... no one has heard of the Swift Wind Sword Sect at all!

This is embarrassing - if you can't win people's trust with your identity, then your next actions will take a lot of effort.

Then, just when Yasuo was thinking about how to prove his identity, the other party opened the door and actively invited Yasuo to come in.

"However, Mr. Yasuo, three days ago, several ladies from Navoli came to our village - their goals are the same as yours. Maybe you can have a chat."

Yasuo blinked and was stunned for a moment.

Did Irelia also find traces of the black mist?

This girl is quite well-informed. I didn’t expect to meet here!

Thinking like this, Yasuo relaxed a lot and waved to his teammates to enter the courtyard - and then, in the living room of this house, Yasuo met an unexpected person.

Yes, I know this "lady from Navoli" Yasuo.

But it wasn't Irelia he thought she was.

The leader was none other than the one who was making up for his mistakes in Ionia... Riven.

……………………

Why did Riven appear here?

This started from the previous Soul Erosion Night.

This year's Soul-eating Night, the unbridled black fog landed in Ionia. After being invaded by the black fog, some villages, including Sedulan Village, sent out their own distress signals.

This signal was sent to the Heart of Ionia. Karma, who was meditating in front of the shrine, received these signals and, according to the current dualistic system of Ionia, shared the message with Irelia (it was supposed to be

It's for Yasuo, but the Yasuo people are not here, so it can only be given to Irelia).

After receiving the news, Irelia knew about this problem, but she didn't take it too seriously - it wasn't that she was careless, it was because after the balance of Ionia was destroyed, the imbalance in the spiritual world caused many problems.

Weird things. In this case, although the black mist that can suck people's lives is also very dangerous, it is not the most serious one.

Compared with the black fog in remote areas, both the poisonous gas pollution in Navoli and the natural imbalance in Barua are more serious.

Therefore, in Irelia's opinion, this matter is not a high priority.

So, who should handle such a low-priority matter?

The Swift Wind Sword Sect is cleaning up the mess in Navoli, the Infinite Sword Sect is repairing the imbalance in Balua, the Kinkou Sect and the Shadow Stream Sect are having disputes again, and the Fairy Sword Sect and Vastaya are still negotiating on the issue of wild magic.
